To this
Regardless of weather the temperature is hot or cold where you are, dry lips are prone to affect you if you do not take care of yourself.
The place that looses most moisture on the body is the lips and when moisture is lost, the skin on the lips becomes tight and they start to split. When this happens, DO NOT PICK OR BITE the flaky dried of skin, that can trigger a cold sore (not cute).
The best way to treat dry lips is by applying lip balm that contains petroleum jelly or beeswax regularly, this puts a protective layer on your skin keeping it nice and moisturised. Try and keep from licking your lips when they are dry as saliva evaporates quickly causing more irritation.
*always put lip balm before you go to sleep at night
